I love when I get the chance to participate in workshops at Hallmark, and this painted feather DIY was no exception! Head on over to Think.Make.Share. to learn how to make this fall decoration for yourself:

While Marimekko is a brand I have been familiar with for awhile, I just recently started following them on social media. With Fall upon us here in the midwest, I am just in love with the color palette in the Autumn 2014 collection. I also love the mix of patterns. I often find myself wearing multiple patterns at once, and I love to see how brands and individuals alike pair patterns together. I hope you find this collection just as inspiring as I do!
